Meet Our Founder: Kalpana Manivannan
Kalpavriksha Farms was founded by Kalpana Manivannan—an urban farmer, author, Karmaveer Chakra Awardee, and sustainability coach. Formerly a biology teacher, Kalpana transformed her dream of organic farming into a reality, and now shares her journey from city life to sustainable living in her book, “Farmer Sutra.” In this memoir, she offers insights and inspiration for those exploring green living and sustainable agriculture.
Sustainable Living Courses
At Kalpavriksha Farms, our sustainable living courses cover everything from organic vegetable gardening and DIY natural cleaners to soap making courses. Led by Kalpana, these courses focus on eco-friendly practices that reduce waste, avoid chemicals, and promote a toxin-free lifestyle. Whether you’re new to organic gardening or a seasoned practitioner, our courses empower you to make sustainable choices at home.
Journey to “Farmer Sutra”
In her book, “Farmer Sutra,” Kalpana shares her journey of transforming from a city dweller into a self-sufficient urban farmer. The book provides a personal glimpse into the challenges and rewards of organic farming and eco-friendly living, showing readers the beauty and simplicity of reconnecting with the earth. Through this memoir, Kalpana hopes to inspire others to explore sustainable living fundamentals and discover the potential of a greener lifestyle. “Farmer Sutra” is more than a memoir; it’s a guide for anyone who wants to reduce their environmental impact and live in harmony with nature.
